Ron Kirk, who President Barack Obama nominated earlier this year to serve as U.S. trade representative, will have to pay close to $10,000 to resolve tax issues uncovered during the Senate Finance Committee’s official vetting of the former Dallas mayor's taxes for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007.

[...]

In addition, charitable donations made by Kirk were vetted and the Senate Finance Committee raised questions about charitable donations in the 2006 fiscal year. The report says charitable donations for the year may be increased to include a $1,500 deduction that was overlooked in the original filing. In addition, the report says acknowledgement [sic] was not provided in one part and in relation to one charitable donation, the fair market value of a TV needed to be reduced from $3,000 to $1,500.

The vetting process also included questions about Kirk’s reduced net partnership income based on unreimbursed business expenses tied to the purchase of season tickets to Dallas Mavericks games. The committee raised questions about whether the purchases were personal in nature and asked for additional information to show the events were tied to business expenses and not for personal use.

Kirk will join a happy bunch of Socialist Tax Cheaters like Timmy "Tax Cheat" Geithner, Hilda Solis, Tom Dasshole, Nancy Killefer and a those that we don't even yet know about. But we will, all it will take is a nomination from The Kenyan.

The tax cheating is not the worst of Kirk, believe it or not, he was one of the highest paid LOBBYISTS for Goldman Sachs. Check his Wiki page, I did that earlier today while you were off at the salt mine slaving for the man.

He also worked for Dead Ann Richards when she was the worst governor Texas ever had.

Not to mention, Kirk was a former mayor of Dallas, where they are the second dumbest town in all of Texas, only Austin has dumber people. Remember the stupid shit about "Blackhole" from the Dallas City Council?
